OPERATION
Use wooden or plastic wedges (Fig .23-A) to
prevent pinching the bar and chain (Fig.23-B) in the
cut. Wedges also control felling.
When diameter of wood being cut is greater than
the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig 24).
WARNING.
Before making the final cut,
always recheck the area for bystanders,
animals or obstacles.
WARNING:
Never saw completely
through the trunk. Always leave a hinge
(Fig.22-F). The hinge guides the tree. If
the trunk is completely cut through,
control over the felling direction is lost.
Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut
well before the tree becomes unstable
and starts to move. This will prevent the
bar from binding in the felling cut if you
have misjudged the falling direction.
Make sure no bystanders have entered
the range of the falling tree before you
push it over.
WARNING:
As the felling cut gets close
to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall.
When tree begins to fall, remove saw
from cut, stop engine, put chain saw
down, and leave area along retreat path
(Fig 17-A).
